Tabloid wikinews?
[edit]This article lacks support outside the tabloids, has any of it been verified? The whole story looks like a prank. JascalX (talk) 23:06, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Every word has been verified. You seem to be confusing the Daily Telegraph with the Daily Mail. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 23:13, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Even if you accept that, this is single person makes shocking revelations, we report them without bothering to question their validity, we just tell both sides. Is this really what WikiNews is going for? What next, "Crazy person says that moon men are stealing his socks!" with a brief paragraph later saying that a single scientist disagrees. Conclusion: I guess we just don't know. 86.178.198.128 (talk) 23:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- How about "Troll randomly accuses Wikinewsies of lacking journalistic integrity"? Pi zero (talk) 00:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- So this is a forum for any random gossip going around? 86.178.198.128 (talk) 01:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- One source, and not a particularly renouned source at that, counts as rigourous? 83.70.170.48 (talk) 15:20, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- I can count to two. Can you? Or, do you mean to tell me that The Belfast Telegraph and The Daily Telegraph are one and the same? One belongs to the publically-traded w:Independent News & Media and the other to the entirely separate w:Press Holdings (which is in turn fully owned by the Barclay Brothers). They are entirely separate.
- Also, whilst I do not share it's political position, I can scarcely agree that The Daily Telegraph in particular is anything other than a most respectable paper. Belfast Tele is pretty reasonable, especially by the standards of a lot of English-lang media.
- I'm not quite so quick to jump towards 'troll'. I freely admit having my suspicions, however. Blood Red Sandman (Talk) (Contribs) 18:58, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

- Those two papers have a similar level of validity to me. I was surprised to see a story like this, but no full quotes (for context) and no broadsheet/foreign references. Just Telegraph and a re-formated Telegraph 83.70.170.48 (talk) 08:11, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
